Very nice one nikkik and much darker than mine. I've had mine 7 years and only noticed a fragrance this year, a little like cotton candy. I love this species.

How easy is this species to grow? I do like the compact growth habit.

IMO, it's very easy to grow. It likes light, it's adaptable to a variety of temperatures. Your watering would depend on how you are growing it, mine is mounted so it's getting watered most days because it's positioned in a sunny spot outside.
